you wrote this one. i want to see example where this superior numbers tactics are actually used. not just random number proclamation.
The War in the Ukraine

I wasn't responding to your post specifically, mainly the article itself. I only read it because of your post.
Ambassadors play a special role compared to other government officials, specifically the foreign minister. Broadly speaking they need to improve relations with the country they reside in. Even when relations are bad between two countries, the ambassador should try to improve things. It's perfectly reasonable to grant the ambassador more leeway than you would the foreign office. In the past America and the UK used this very effectively against China.
But as you say, the comments are inappropriate.
M777A2 captured by Russians apparently. If true then guess they've reached the front lines.
What I would really like to see is captured PzH 2000 displayed next to Hummel and Grille, you know in chronological order.

I said
Both USSR's and US's tactics rely on superior numbers to overwhelm the opponents
You asked for example of are actually used.
Do you understand the meanings of plain English words? Are "Rely on" and "actually used" of the same meaning? Certainly not, so what is your what is your problem? Trying to be a jerk?
Taxiya and pmc - cut it out, Its not what anyone wants to read, certainly not at the end of a long day.
It was certainly not lone... maybe a part broke or the truck didn't start. If not theres a couple destroyed beside it. It's impressive that there's one already captured, they lost all std stock and rely already on the new ones ?

I don’t believe that I suggested that Russia either should, or could, achieve any overall comprehensive victory; I don’t expect them to. In fact, I’m on record -multiple times- as having bet on Ukraine. What my, and I believe others’, expectations were, was that Russia would be able to persistently and competently execute formation-level combined-armed operations.
Have they?
Yes, the Russian priority right now is the SLR metroplex, with Severodonetsk being the next target and then Lysychansk (Rubizhne has already fallen). Given the limited resources and lack of escalation by the Russians, this is a very sensible goal. They're not trying to push for crazy objectives anymore like in the first month of the war. Once the metroplex falls and the Russians have secured the north bank of the Donets River, they'll probably move on to Bakhmut, and after that to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
Yes, they obviously have, on multiple fronts and sectors. They've done it in the Siege of Mariupol, bringing together amphibious operations, artillery barrages, and air strikes all at once. They're doing it every day in the Donbas. The Russians are doing what they do best: taking huge losses and conquering more land at the same time. It's the basic story of Russian military history.
